Details: ReviewLike the title says, Friends gathers tunes teaming the … boogie guru with his admirers. — Entertainment WeeklyAmazon.caMost times when a bluesman makes an album packed with superstar guests, it means that the music’s going to take a beating. (For proof, hear B.B. King’s 1997 Deuces Wild.) These 13 tunes are an exception. Ten are collected from previous CDs, so they represent the cream of Hooker’s collaborations. His « Baby Lee » with Robert Cray is a joy. So is « I’m in the Mood », where Hooker hams it up with Bonnie Raitt. Oddly, he even fits into Santana’s Latin groove on « The Healer ». This album’s three brand-new pairings with famous guitarists are mixed. Eric Clapton adds hot sauce to Hooker’s sassy classic « Boogie Chillen ». and Ben Harper’s wah- wah and slide guitar gives « Burnin’ Hell » a psychedelic sizzle. However, Ry Cooder’s turn on « Big Legs Tight Skirt » is atypically anonymous. –Ted Drozdowski
